Fallout: New Vegas - What You Need To Know

Videogamer writes: "Fallout: New Vegas, the latest entry in the long-running RPG franchise, is released on October 22 and is shaping up to be one of the best RPGs of 2010. Fancy a look, but worried that you've never played Fallout before? Or perhaps your knowledge is just a bit rusty since playing Fallout 3 in 2008?"

I was on ps3 and where do I start. Ill try to go in order of how it happened for me

1- Game froze coming out of doc mitchells house had to reboot
2- got to main water section with summer springs to do a mission finished mission game froze had to repeat whole mission
3-while repeating mission audio shut off for whole mission it turned back on when I reached the cemetary
4-looking for victor in goodsprings the world flickered and game fronze
5-game froze a few more times
6-got to primm talked to NCR boss game froze when leaving tent
7-entered hotel to free someone game froze
8-free'd said someone and then this http://www.youtube.com/watc...

That bug/glitch took me 4-5 restarts to get to complete due to it freezing when I clicked on his feet.

9-entered bottom section of map (think where tenpenny tower would be) NCR camp was 100% empty
10-game froze somemore
11-got to the hotel area where the dino is set up and went south to NCR outpost then this happened

and I gave up on 12th attempt.

In total I spent 9 hours attempting to play this game from launch last night to 1:30pm today and I had a total of 32 freezes numerous frame rate issues audio cut out enemies dissapeared NPC's stuck in ceilings etc etc etc. Its a shame that they put this game out in this condition but I was fortunate enough to beable to return my copy even though I opened it, after explaining what had happened there was not a person in gamestop that did not agree that the game was disfunctional and I got my money back.

"Obsidian Entertainment was founded in 2003 after Black Isle Studios bit the dust. Comprised of key talent from the closed studio, Obsidian went on to produce a string of entertaining if unremarkable titles: Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights II and Alpha Protocol. New Vegas, however, looks like a sparkling return to form for a once-venerated team."

The last paragraph of this 'article', completely invalidates everything else before it.

In fact, this invalidates anything this guy writes, ever again.
